Sorry. I meant auto save actions. Also things like auto import .. etc.

I use Netbeans as my preferred IDE. When I want to throw together a quick java GUI, you can't beat it. And by the way, there are plug ins for it.
As far as IDEs go, I haven't had too much experience with many others (I usually only program in java, and most IDEs are for other languages. I feel a bit like a tourist). I've used MPLAB, Matlab, JCreator, XCode, Codewarrior and Bloodshed before, and I've played around with Labview, Codewrite and Eclipse.
I suppose I could say I also have used notepad, gedit and VI from time to time, but you could hardly call those IDEs.
My advice is to find something you like for the application/language you're writing, become proficient with it and stick to it. It helps when either it is the language's standard, or has a large user base along with plug-ins.

My preferred IDE is no IDE. The main editor I use is geany, and secondary is vim, where geany I use for larger projects, and vim I use for 1-2 file projects. I would say I'm rather proficient in geany and vim.. but then both are just text editors.. not much to learn (vim people please don't hate me for saying that..)
I use eclipse when I have to write Java (because Java is an eclipse proprietary language, amirite?
) due to the fact of the
massive amount of options in eclipse, so I can customize it to my needs relatively well (take the time to go through every single options in eclipse.. then do the same for netbeans.. then you realize why eclipse is much much superior), but the IDE is still slow and bloated ("Let me get some coffee while I wait for Eclipse to redraw it's main GUI")
That being said.. It's just my opinions, and I have very very strong opinions over these kinda things.. (maybe I have OCD? not sure..)
